Engaged all pet battles in & around Thundermar.When one wasn't a secondary pet I forfeited & killed the pet Found 2 poor's P/P & H/H as secondarys. Went back to Stable Master to heal & there were 3 sitting at Flight Master. B/B S/S & H/H all uncommon. Went back day after to hunt few more rares & nealry every battle i engaged in at Obsidian Forest A gryphon was a secondary 2 rares & rest common

Just tried to engage several of these as Horde and it wouldn't let me, they were clearly marked with "paws" as engageable battle pets but it wouldn't. Hopped on my Ally and battled them no problem. Obviously this happens sometimes and sometimes doesn't. The ones I were trying to engage were primarys. Good luck.

This pet comes in 3 sizes - small, medium, large. The small is the same size as the Gryphon Hatchling. Large is about twice as big.

Sizes work just like different colors on other pets and will stay consistent after taming. Sizes are not related to rarity or breed. If you find a WGH as a secondary pet, then forfeit to reset the battle, the size will reset so you can pick the size you want.

I found that the nearby trash battle-pets to where the primary Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchling spawned seemed to have a higher rate of having them as a secondary pet. Found 3 in a row like this. In total it took 8 encounters with Wildhammer Gryphon Hatchlings to get my S/S which I then upgraded to rare for the Xu-Fu encounter in the Celestial Tournament.

Can be tricky to farm the breed you want, there are a lot of breeds to chose from. P/P 341 power is a true powerhouse, and to me it was worth waiting for this breed. It's basic 100% hit Peck move hits for 361(almost 500 on Aquatics). This combined with high speed, and avoidance in Lift-Off makes a very useful pet. One of my favourite birds.

BS it has nothing to do with faction. I was on my horde druid and saw 2 spawn right near the FP, luckly for me these little babies pat around the area. I got close enough to click on one to battle and all that came up was a sword NOT a green paw print. Angled my camera down so I had a better veiw of the BP but still a sword and when I placed my mouse over the non pb nothing came up IF this is an alli only pet, then blizzard needs to fix the info in the pet journal.

I am currently on my Alliance hunter looking at one of these as main-pet - But it is down a cellar with very little room - I cant seem to get into battle with it..... Any tricks to get the ones in the basement engaged?

Nice to see there's a stable master at firebeard's patrol for alliance to make farming this pet a little easier. While i main horde it is nice to have a 90 alliance on a pve realm for things like this xP Caught a p/p common one as secondary to a twilight fiendling, will give it a go for a while before i just give up and wait for a stone from dailies =] Good luck!

Has anyone else noticed that there are variable sizes for these guys? I'm not sure if it's coincidence, but the one I caught from a primary spawn is almost twice as large as the one I caught in a secondary battle. My friends and I compared ours side by side and found them to be slightly different in sizes too!

I found one up by Kirthaven and (on my BE) was just able to get close enough to battle it but the only option I had was to kill it. I suppose those are alli only spawns. Just now while fighting a turkey an uncommon came up as a secondary pet.
